it is so nice seeing the trees change this year.Thank you.I live in florida where its green all year lol and i cant travel north,so thats my way of seeing fall.and yay btw for Halloween wootwoot(just bought the big food pack for swaggies)hurryhurryhurry*wiggles

Praise: The swag is all pretty good and even though I'm busier than I'd like IRL I really like the event and am having some fun with it. Luckily I'd been storing up vessels (and beacons) and have enough to get to 100 dreads without running any battleships, otherwise there's no way I'd have time to complete the event. But I like that. I like that the events are challenging and not everyone can complete them. It's a nice extra bonus to those able and willing to put the time/effort/money into doing something special, and it in no way hinders anyone not participating. Unless you're in hunt chat trying to do anything other than dreads...

Criticism: Does anyone else think it's strange that the 2nd stat for the reward ring is a weapon/armor? That's the usual bonus for events, and it makes sense with a lot of the bonuses from previous events, but it would make more sense to pair a sky bonus with this ring. In fact, I would rather roll the dice on getting a +attack to stags bonus than get a stat I'm guaranteed to never benefit from. Now I'm going to have to shard this and buy one with another sky stat. Oh well, at least the hat is cool.

I think we all felt the same way about the Yang Long event I plan on just making a scroll with those two rings and quick-slotting it so I can put them both on whenever I pick up an element :-p

Thank you so much for the new event! I love some of the new swag, and the event has been quite a challenge for me, but I never felt it wouldn't be possible if I kept at it. And I like the new ring bonus enough to do it.

A couple of minor things, though. I noticed when you "Inspect Stats", it says that it gives 1 gold instead of 1000. It works correctly, but I know of someone who sharded it without even trying it after seeing that, figuring that it wouldn't even be worth anything to sell. I've heard the grand ring says it gives 2 gold instead of 1500 - likewise, it works correctly, but the description is misleading.

The other thing would be harder to fix - The names on the new ring stat are "Swashbuckler" and "Privateer". In the tp, it's under "Other" -> "Privateer".

But there's already a ring name of "Privateer" in the "Attributes" category, it gives +3 attack when boarding. So there could be some confusion.

Thank you for a great update, and for letting us know that there will be another for Halloween. Looking forward to Trick or Treating!

This actually isn't the first time we've had an ambiguous ring attribute name, although the other one I know of is the first-attribute name rather than the second-attribute name. "Solid" can mean +Airship armor or -Aether chance. I used one of the -Aether chance rings with Toresti for awhile without even realizing it.
